It has green flowers, with long narrow spotted segments, and 
a lip narrow, and hollowed out below the point, where it ter- 
minates in a slender bristle. It is not handsome, but is very 
distinct. 
{ 38. BILLARDIERA daphnvides; fruticosa, ramis non scandentibus, foliis 
lanceolatis subacutis supra glabris subtüs sericeo-villosis, floribus pede- 
cellatis solitariis axillaribus luteis, antheris sagittatis, stigmatibus obtu- 
sis quadripartitis, baccis sericeis. Knowles § Westcott, Floral Cabinet,

Native country not mentioned. A greenhouse shrub, de- 
scribed as having the appearance of proving a dwarf rigid 
shrub. The branches are covered with hairy down. The 
flowers are smooth, yellow inside, striped on the outside with 
a dullish purple. 
Y 39. GESNERIA reflexa ; herbacea, foliis subsessilibus cordatis crenato- 
dentatis rugosis villosis acutis, racemo terminali reflexo, bracteis cor- 
datis acutis reflexis, corollis arcuatis tomentosis ; labio superiore elon- 
gato fornicato basi angustato inferiore brevi fauce obliquá latissimá trun- 
cata. Knowles $ Westcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 67. 
This plant is very near G. faucialis. ” It is unnoticed by 
name in DeCandolle’s recent volume of the Prodromus, but is 
probably the same as his G. Cooperi. Like all the genus it 
is very handsome. The garden report of its having been 
found near Valparaiso is about as probable as if it had been 
said to come from Iceland. 
{ 40. PLEUROTHALLIS villosa; folis ovatis coriaceis, petiolis sulcatis, 
scapo flexuoso, bracteis spathosis, floribus villosis purpureo-maculatis, 
supremo sepalo subspathulato margine reflexo carinato, sepalis laterali- 
bus connatis basi gibbosis, petalis spathulatis minutis, labello lingui- 
formi recurvato sulcato. Knowles § Westcott, Floral Cabinet, v. 2. p.78. 
Imported from Mexico by Mr. Barker. ‘It grows about 
four inches high; the scape is flexuose, and at each bend 
there is a flower, very woolly, and beautifully spotted with 
purple; the lateral sepals are gibbous at the base."— — It 
therefore seems to be a Specklinia. 
Y 41. PLEUROTHALLIS ciliata ; caule adscendente subtereti sulcato, folio 
coriaceo elliptico-lanceolato emarginato, racemo recurvo folio breviore, 
floribus alternis secundis, sepalis minutissimé ciliatis lateralibus nisi 
apice connatis superiore erecto, petalis lineari-lanceolatis ciliatis columnâ 
paulo longioribus, labello sub-ciliato linguee-formi obtuso concavo, cli- 
nandrio tridentato. Knowles $ Westcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 19.
